Equashield, a leading provider of Closed System Transfer Devices (CSTDs) for hazardous drugs, announced today that it will be leading a symposium exploring the use of robotics in cytotoxic drug handling at the International Symposium on Oncology Pharmacy Practice (ISOPP).
 
The symposium will introduce the Equashield Pro, the first drug compounding robot utilising Equashield's proprietary CSTD technology. It will also discuss the role that the Equashield Pro will play in increasing pharmacy throughput while simultaneously keeping pharmacists safe.
 
"The Equashield Pro provides the solution to hazardous drug compounding problems encountered by practicing hospital pharmacists on a daily basis," said Marino Kriheli, Co-Founder of Equashield. "By combining leading robotic automation with Equashield's proprietary CSTD technology, the Equashield Pro significantly speeds up the process of compounding hazardous drugs and creates a safer environment for oncology pharmacists around the world."
 
Utilising advanced robotic technologies, the Equashield Pro enables quick compounding of a large variety of patient specific chemotherapy doses using a method that shortens the process flow while performing multiple simultaneous tasks. Comparable in size to a standard biological safety cabinet, it is easily integrated into hospital pharmacies, while dose verification software protects against cases of medication dosage and identification errors.
